An excellent half day tour and although the Blue Mosque wasn't open the tour guide more than adequately made up for this by adding extra sightseeing items. Our guide spoke good English, was very informative and open to receiving many questions.

The guide's knowledge was impeccable - there was a BBC documentary on Istanbul once I got home and the guide's information was spot on. His English was excellent as was time-keeping. Highly recommended.

Tour was excellent, very good knowledgeable guide. I have to say the visit to the carpet shop should be left out, the hard sell was verging on intimidating. I would have been happier to pay more for the tour and not go to the carpet shop and then I would have given the tour a 5 star rating.

This was a great little walk around some of the main tourist sites of the of Istanbul. We started with a tour of the Hippodrome and all the monuments thereabouts. Our guide was superb, in fact all of the tour guides who I encountered in Turkey were. She really knew her stuff. We then went to the Blue Mosque - stunning. There was no queue to get in and time to take pictures and have a look around. We then got onto a minibus and went to Chora Basilica. Once again our Guide was able to tell it's story and I learnt a great deal about aspects of Christianity which I hadn't hitherto heard about. Then we went to a rug showroom to learn a bit about how they're made. The people ran it made a bit of a sales pitch as well, which didn't sit well with me, personally. Then we got back in the minibus and headed for the Grand Bazar where we had some free time to look around and our ever helpful guide helped me to find a hat. A really good morning. The walking isn't strenuous at all. A point to note is that we didn't go inside Hagia Sofya, which is closed on a Monday, and so if this is something which you want to do then book a walk on another day.

We thought this was just the right amount of tour. Our guide knew when to slow down and when to speed up and we got just the right amount of history. One thing that was a little confusing was that it included the Grand Bazaar, but the description didn't state it so we had gone the day before.
